Pledge to Have the Second Talk with Poise

Hi Friends… we are at that age; it's time to have "The 2nd Talk."

Let's take a little step back in time…


Do you remember being abound 11 or 12…dancing around your bedroom to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean"…watching "Grease 2" in the movie theater and reading Are You There God? It's Me Margaret.

You start hearing whispers from friends…

about some major changes that are happening with their bodies.

It sounds both terrifying and exciting. Then your Mom sits you down and gives you the "Talk".

She explains what your girl parts are meant to do and how things will be playing out every

month or so.

There will be cramps, an overwhelming need for salt and chocolate and some major mood swings.

Then it happens to you. Things start falling into place. Your Mom is happy and sad.

You are on your way to womanhood.

Fast-forward 20 or 25-ish years later. STUFF is happening again. Friends aren't whispering. Mom

doesn't say a word.

You are feeling anxious about what's going on.

In the meantime, you are busting out into a sweat in the middle of the night, while sitting at your

kid's karate class and basically anytime there is no reason to be sweaty.

Girls…you might be on your way to the next stage: Menopause.

Poise brand wants to help us gals approach this next stage with confidence…

by being the first to start The 2nd Talk,

a whole new way to discuss menopause and other wellness issues for women over 40.

Poise has come out with a new, first-of-its-kind line of over-the-counter menopause

products designed to work with our bodies and provide comfort from our symptoms.

Two products I am "hot" to try…

Roll-On Cooling Gel helps you feel comfortable and refreshed when a hot flash strikes.

Squeeze the tube and gently roll the cooling gel on wrists, chest, or neck for a cooling sensation

that lasts up to 10 minutes.

Body Cooling Towelettes offer instant cooling and refreshment when you experience a hot flash. 

Gently wipe the towelette on wrists, chest, or neck to feel cool and comfortable.

Featuring a portable, re-sealable package, these towelettes are easy to use anywhere you go.

Poise brand wants to rally 1 million women to pledge to have The 2nd Talk

by World Menopause Day on October 18.

By joining the conversation, women will gain more menopause knowledge, support, and solutions.

    I feel most confident when I ‘ve had a good night’s sleep! I’m interested in these products because I’m uneasy taking hormones, but I like the idea of the over the counter remedies that are external. I hadn’t heard of these so thanks for passing the info on!

    Finally, practical products available. Those poor women (like me) who went through menopause without them. I feel most confident when I have plenty of info, the things I need, and the presence of mind to make good choices.

    I feel most confident when I’m wearing an outfit I know is flattering on me and have had time to straighten my hair and put on a little make-up. Only takes about 10 minutes, but the difference it makes in how I feel is worth 10 times as much!

    I feel most confident… When I’m doing what ever makes me feel good…. I was in a twenty year abusive marriage, and now I’m out of it and enjoying everything that makes me happy. So being confident is what got me out. Loving yourself…. And who you are makes a person feel confident!!!!
